dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

A fictionalised telling of the black dahlia murder. A quintessential noir full of flawed characters and dark post-war Hollywood tropes.
